NRA Instructor Pistol Shooting Training

Avondale Scout Reservation in Clinton, Alabama hosts NRA Instructor Pistol Shooting Training courses through the Istrouma Area Council. This 16-hour certification program teaches the knowledge, skills, and attitude essential to organizing, promoting, and teaching NRA's Basic Pistol Shooting course.

The NRA Instructor Pistol Shooting Training is designed for individuals with basic firearm safety and shooting skills who wish to become certified NRA instructors. This comprehensive course covers both foundational instructor training and discipline-specific pistol instruction.

The program is presented in two parts:

• •Basic Instructor Training - Covers fundamental teaching methodologies and organizational skills
• •Discipline-Specific Training - Focuses on pistol-specific instruction techniques and best practices

Participants demonstrate organizational and teaching skills through practical exercises and complete an instructor certification examination.

The $225 course fee includes all required training materials: - NRA Trainer's Guide - NRA Pistol Shooting Instructor Candidate Packet - NRA Basic Pistol Shooting course student packet

Candidates must possess basic firearm safety and shooting skills. Prior to instructor training, participants complete a pre-course questionnaire and demonstrate their firearm background through pre-course assessment exercises. A valid NRA member number is required at the training.

Training is held at Avondale Scout Reservation, a BSA facility offering proper range facilities for pistol instruction. Lunch is not provided, but participants have time to bring their own or leave campus for meals.
